Abandoning his normal theater of operations in Hollywood, Director John Ford, 72, took an old costume out of mothballs-the dress blues identifying him as a rear admiral, U.S. Naval Reserve. A genuine salt with combat service during World War II and the Korean War, Ford arranged to put out with the fleet on three weeks' temporary active duty. Flying to Marseille, he caught up with the cruiser U.S.S. Columbus, joined the staff of an old war buddy, Rear Admiral John Bulkeley, who commands a Sixth Fleet flotilla. Admiral Ford posed on the bridge like Captain Bligh, then settled...
Today, the bold style and clean line of Japan's foremost woodcut artist can be seen in major museums the world over. Among his early collectors was an American naval officer named Jerry Schecter, who was based in Kobe in 1957 and returned to Japan in 1964 as TIME-LIFE bureau chief in Tokyo. Schecter filed the bulk of the reporting for this week's cover to Writer Robert Jones and Senior Editor Edward Jamieson. Schecter also led the search for a Japanese artist to portray Japan's Premier...
Retreat Home. Bourjaily describes the assassination's effect chiefly on two men. One actually knew Kennedy.

The change in grade may mean that the capitaine's handsome wife Henriette will get to the Paris Opera less often. This week he takes command of the guided-missile frigate Suffren, based in .the Mediterranean port of Toulon. In their...
...fact is that although some of the lower forms of life, such as bacteria, can survive freezing and thawing, no higher animal can, and certainly not man. Not even a single major human organ can be thus preserved. The National Naval Medical Center, the world's foremost freeze bank, stores only three types of tissue: corneas, skin, and bone-marrow cells. Frozen red blood cells and sperm will also keep for months or years. It is not for want of trying that researchers have failed to preserve whole organs, for a frozen-kidney bank would be invaluable to transplantation...
